As you may or may not know, our officer elections for the Post are tomorrow. While we have almost every position filled with nominees, one of the most vital positions – Quartermaster – doesn’t have any nominees.

Scott Stoneburner has been our Quartermaster for the past two years, stepping into the job “temporarily” to fill the void when we needed someone. He has done an incredible job and really helped turn the Post around. But he has a full-time job, and the demands of the Quartermaster position are significant – although Scott has cut down drastically on the time needed by organizing and stream-lining much of the operation, there’s still a lot of work to do. And trying to do those duties AND work full-time (not to mention have a family life!) is extremely difficult. Scott has done it, but now needs to step down and get back to his family (and taking care of his home, his animals, his – I don’t know, he’s a Marine – probably has to take care of his boots and rifles, too).

We desperately need a regular member to step up to fill the role of Quartermaster. It’s not an easy job, but Scott will be there to provide guidance and help you get settled into the position. Likewise, I fill the role of Assistant Quartermaster for now, and will also help you get settled in (although I need to get back to my boots and rifles wife, too!).

Ideally, if there’s a member who is good with numbers and is retired, this is a perfect role for you. It requires about 15 hours a week, and yes, there is some computer usage involved, but that part is pretty straight-forward for anyone that’s managed an office/accounting before. Again, Scott and I will both be there to help you get up to speed and will continue to help you when you need it.

Our elections are during the monthly meeting TOMORROW NIGHT, April 24th at 6:30pm! Even if you can’t fill the position, PLEASE come to the meeting – our post is one of the largest posts in the state, and it’s ridiculous that we only have the same dozen members there every month. GET INVOLVED!

If you’re a social member, please pass this on to any regular members you may know!

Also – while some people have enjoy my cooking I’ve been doing Monday nights, it’s become too difficult to keep this up with my job (and life!), so I’ll no longer be cooking Monday nights at the Post. It was fun while it lasted, and I appreciate everyone that showed up for it. If anyone wants any of the recipes I served, feel free to shoot me an email – most of them came from Pinterest, and I’d be glad to share!

Thanks!

Shawn

Ham Salad Sub
Served with chips & pickles $6.95

Chicken Croquettes
2 croquettes served with your choice of 2 sides $7.95

Baked Haddock
Topped with dill sauce & fresh asparagus served with your choice of two sides $8.95

Prime Rib Weekend
Served with your choice of two sides $14.95

Appetizer
Cheesy Meatball Puff: A meatball and mozzarella cheese fried inside a biscuit. Well, it’s supposed to be fried. But it might be baked, too, because Shawn has had a bad experience trying to fry things lately. Served with marinara sauce. Or possibly spaghetti sauce. C’mon, like you know the difference?
3 for $4⁰⁰

Main Meal
Pizza Burger: A half-pound burger (weight before cooking, just like McD’s!) seasoned with onion, garlic, oregano, crushed red pepper and topped with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese and pepperoni. Cooked whatever way Shawn feels like it, because he still has no idea how to do temperatures of burgers. But he hasn’t burnt any so far (as you read this, please knock on wood)!
Served with a side of chips, because Shawn has no idea what a good side for a pizza burger would be. $5⁰⁰

Dessert
Raspberry Whip: A raspberry whipped dessert made with an angel food cake-base and a lot of love. Well, okay, a little bit of love. But only because Shawn was tired after a long day and his feet hurt. And now that you’re thinking about his feet, doesn’t this just sound DELICIOUS? (It really is, don’t worry – and it’s very light and practically zero calories! I mean, compared to everything else you ate tonight, right?)
A gob (scoop?) for $2⁰⁰

The specials this week are:

Prime Rib Sandwich: $7.95
Sauteed with onion and mushrooms, on a sub roll. Served with fries.

Starting tonight, I (Shawn) am going to try making three dishes every Monday evening – an appetizer, a main course and a dessert. These will ONLY be available on Mondays, and only until they run out! Food will usually run from 6pm-9pm.

Tonight’s Taste Experiments:
$4 Appetizer: Po’ Boy Spring Rolls (2 pretty big spring rolls, stuffed with Shrimp, Burger and cabbage).

$5 Main Course: Cheddar, Bacon and Jalepeno-stuffed burger (these are THIIIIIICK burgers!). Served with chips.

$2 Dessert: Banooner Roll (Bananas and Nutella in an Egg Roll wrapper, deep fried). Served with whip cream and chocolate sauce garnish.

Serving starts at 6pm, lasts until Shawn runs out or 9pm, whichever comes first!

Note: Since this is the first trial run, supplies may be limited.

Also Note: cooking may be amateurish.

Also also note: cursing may flow from the kitchen, but we’ll keep the doors closed…
